Where the Ocean Meets the Sky

(Possible first paragraph)

Her plane begins descending through the clouds and will be landing in Boston in a few moments. The view of the horizon through the aircraft's window is beautiful. What a wonderful late spring day. In a few days, her daughter will be graduating from Harvard Law School. Karen is beaming with pride for her daughter's accomplishments, but her forehead has worry lines.

I began this book more than a year ago and shelved it to work on So, Whatcha Think?, but now it is dusted off and being worked on again. This book is emotional and sometimes I cry as I write.

The hard part is the time it takes to get it from my head to the paper.
